ps. In the second update, I feel like my condition has recovered a little.
Kobe's injury is not too serious. He has a sprained ankle. It is initially estimated that he will be sidelined for about a week, which is probably two or three games. However, the Lakers also have good news. After a period of idle thought, Lamar Odom was finally released from injury.
He has been activated from the sick list, and his condition has recovered well. After examination by the team doctor, it was determined that he has recovered enough to play, but he cannot play for too long.
For this reason, Phil Jackson had to make adjustments to the lineup and let Vujacic replace Kobe as the starting shooting guard. This is also the first time Vujacic has had the opportunity to start this season. In addition to this, the Lakers' lineup is
Not much has changed.
As for the Knicks, the starting lineup did not exceed expectations.
Point guard: Stephon Marbury, shooting guard: Jamal Crawford, small forward: Quentin Richardson, power forward: Channing Frye, center: Eddie Curry.
This is almost the regular starting lineup of the New York Knicks this season and even last season. The Knicks' lineup has not changed much this season. They signed Jared Jeffries and selected Ronaldo Backman in the draft.
and Marty Collins, and gave up Maurice Taylor and Em Uduka at the same time. There were no big deals, and no new junk contracts were signed. Relatively speaking, the biggest change was the management.
Before the game started, Adrian was practicing three-pointers under the Lakers' basket when he suddenly heard a provocative voice.
"Hey, rookie, I heard that you are very popular recently." Stephon Marbury turned to Adrian with an unruly expression: "Listen up, compared to AI, you are just a little baby still wearing a diaper.
.”
"Bang!" Adrian's steady shooting hand shook, and inevitably, the basketball hit the frame.
"Well, that's a great shot," Stephon Marbury said sarcastically.
Adrian turned around slowly, his eyes calm, looking at Stephon Marbury who looked defiant and provocative, and said: "It's best not to mess with me, I'm not in a good mood today."
"Oh, what can you do to me, rookie?" Stephon Marbury said provocatively. He saw the referee looking over here from the corner of his eye. He wisely chose to retreat, but the sarcasm on his face became even stronger: "
When you get to the competition field, see how I teach you a lesson, rookie!"
Adrian only felt inexplicable anger.
Stephon Marbury's sudden provocation was like a dangerous spark, causing the anger and depression that Adrian had accumulated these days to almost explode.
What he didn't know was that Adrian's ranking in the All-Star voting was related. Marbury and Iverson had a very good personal relationship. For Marbury, Iverson was also one of the only people who could make him
As one of the people I admire, and they are still friends with each other, Iverson was pushed behind by Adrian in the All-Star voting, and it is very likely that he will miss the All-Star Game. This makes Marbury naturally have a crush on Allen.
Adrian felt disgusted. In addition, Adrian was still a rookie. It is almost customary for rookies in the NBA to accept bullying and lessons from veteran players. The combination of the two combined gave rise to Mabu.
The provocation inside.
But Adrian didn't know the inside story. Marbury's provocation made the anger already accumulated in his heart escalate to a higher level.
The game started amidst the referee's whistle. Bynum touched the basketball before Eddie Curry and passed the ball to Adrian. As soon as he dribbled the ball to the three-point line, Stephon Marbury entangled him.
He came up, spouting rubbish: "Rookie, come on, let me see what you are capable of..."
Without saying a word, Adrian called Turiaf to come out for the pick-and-roll. Turiaf, who had already cooperated with Adrian extremely skillfully, immediately ran out, put his hands on his crotch, and turned into a solid wall.
The wall of flesh blocked Stephon Marbury for Adrian when he broke through.
Adrian took advantage of the situation and broke through to the inside. Crawford immediately let go of his defender and rushed towards Adrian fiercely. Just as he rushed in front of Adrian, he suddenly discovered that there was no basketball in Adrian's hand.
.
"Bang!" The sound of the basketball hitting the ground was a mixture of dull and crisp. Vujacic, who had witnessed Adrian's pick-and-roll breakthrough and distribution power countless times, had already smartly moved to the 45-degree right side of his most accurate three-pointer.
Corner, catch the ball and shoot!
"Bang!"
Although that position is Vujacic's most stable position, as a starter for the first time, Vujacic seemed to have not adjusted his condition yet. His shot was a little stronger, and he hit the basket and bounced directly out of bounds. Knicks
The team's head coach shouted loudly at Jamal Crawford.
"Sorry." Vujacic stretched out his hand and gestured to Adrian. The opportunity just now was already very good, but he didn't seize it.
Adrian shook his head and slowly stepped back. Everyone has bad moments, and no one can guarantee that they can seize any opportunity. There is no need to care about missing an opportunity, as long as you can seize the next one.
Just chance.
The Knicks served from the baseline, and Stephon Marbury took possession of the ball and rushed directly towards Adrian.
The ball jumped between his hands, circled around his crotch, changed back and forth, disappeared in one moment, and reappeared in the next moment. Stephon Marbury kept making fake moves, and said provocatively: "Rookie,
Now I will show you how close you are to an All-Star!"
To be honest, what Adrian hates to defend the most is defenders like Marbury. He is short, has great ball control ability, is very fast, and has sharp breakthroughs. If he is an orthodox point guard, that's okay, but if he is like Marbury
Brie's scoring ability is better than that of the point guard who organizes the team, and Adrian is at risk of being beaten.
Stephon Marbury suddenly took a step forward with his right foot and made a gesture of breaking through from the left. Adrian quickly retreated a little distance to prevent Marbury from breaking through and leave some reaction space for himself.
Halfway through, he saw Marbury quickly take back the foot he stepped out, pull it up and throw it!
Adrian jumped up quickly and tried to block the shot, but despite his height advantage, his take-off was a little slower. In addition, Marbury's movements opened up enough shooting space, which made Adrian unable to block the shot.
Can choose to interfere with Marbury's shooting vision.
Fortunately... this interference has taken effect!
Bang~~!
Stephon Marbury's three-point jump shot also failed to hit, perhaps because the shot was too hasty and the accuracy of the shot was lowered. The basketball hit the backboard, rebounded and hit the front edge of the basket and jumped out. Turiaf
He clicked a rebound in the crowd. The offense and defense switched again.
At the beginning of the game, both sides felt a little cold and kept hitting the ball. Adrian adhered to his responsibility as a point guard and always insisted on handing the basketball to the hands of open players. Even if their hands were not good, Adrian could
He did not pass the ball because of this, but after passing the ball, he fought more fiercely for offensive rebounds. In this way, after the first quarter, he only passed three assists, but grabbed three offensive rebounds.
With the second attack and breakthrough score, he scored six points.
Marbury, on the other hand, lived up to his reputation as a lone wolf. As a point guard, he also noticed that his teammates were not feeling well, so he firmly chose to take action himself, even though he was also hitting the iron frequently, from the first quarter to the second.
In the second quarter, it was still the same. Even if it occasionally passed a few balls, it would quickly return to singles mode.
In particular, he never missed any opportunity to ridicule Adrian.
"Do you dare not pass the ball?"
"Rookie, come on, hit me, come on, take a shot, I promise I won't defend, oh, you spread the word like this?"
"You're a coward, rookie! You're a coward!"
"Have you said enough?" Adrian suddenly raised his head and glared at Stephon Marbury: "Shut that shit-spewing mouth of yours, you ugly man!"
He has been patient. Adrian is not a person who likes to quarrel with others, let alone the kind of casual abuse and fights. In his last life, he was a Chinese with a restrained personality, and in this life, Adrian has also been highly educated.
Although he was a libertine due to his upbringing, at least in terms of politeness and character, he was at least a figure who often appeared in upper class society.
But this time, he really couldn't help it!
"You want me to shut up?" Stephon Marbury grinned and sneered at Adrian: "Unless you, a rookie like you, can break through my defense and score!"
"Okay!" Adrian roared suddenly. This time he didn't pass the ball anymore. He suddenly accelerated the ball and rushed toward Stephon Marbury.
"Huh, stupid young man!" Stephen Marbury snorted disdainfully in his heart. Looking at Adrian, who was rushing towards him with red eyes, Stephen Marbury had no fear in his heart. He didn't believe Adrian.
An dared to collide with him like this. Sure enough, just when their bodies were about to come into contact, Adrian suddenly changed direction and broke through!
"Sure enough, it changed direction!" With a sneer, Stephon Marbury chose to stick up, followed Adrian's footsteps, puffed out his chest and bumped into Adrian.
He soon regretted his choice!
The force coming from Adrian was greater than he imagined. Although Stephen Marbury took the initiative to hit him, the force of the rebound also made Marbury unsteady. He wanted to avoid it, but found that
He couldn't control his body, and he staggered towards the basket due to Adrian's impact.
Stephon Marbury hoped that the referee would blow the whistle at this time, but the referee did not. Because from the referee's perspective, it was Marbury who was violating Adrian, but Adrian's physical strength was not affected, so he did not blow the whistle.
post.
Stephon Marbury hoped that his teammates could help him at this critical moment, but Eddie Curry, who was guarding the basket, looked at the menacing Adrian rushing over as if he wanted to kill someone, and his heart instinctively rose a little.
Fear, and then when Adrian 'led' Marbury to the basket, he... avoided it!
From Eddie Curry's perspective, this was a wise choice. Although he avoided it, no one under the Knicks' basket could stop Adrian from dunking, but at least he didn't have to be the man he is today.
The background cover of the five best goals. For Steph Marbury, Eddie Curry's 'wise' choice undoubtedly made him despair!
He watched Adrian take off, watched Adrian knock him away with the force of impact, watched Adrian's muscular arms tightly hold the basketball, and dunked it toward the basket, making a sound like a bomb exploding.
The roar!
He was knocked out but couldn't resist!
Adrian let go of his hand, fell from the basket, stretched out his hand and pointed at Stephon Marbury, who was knocked to the ground: "You want to defend me even for a waste like you?"
Well, if I want to score points from you, I can get any points I want from you, any!"
